Testo 206 pH Probe Storage Cap with KCL Gel

This Testo storage cap with KCL gel filling is crucial for any tech looking to extend the life of their Testo 206 pH probes. Drying out a pH probe means a new one, and that's a cost nobody wants. Proper storage keeps your readings accurate when you're testing liquids or semi-solid media on site, especially in our dry Australian climate.

A well-maintained pH probe is essential for reliable water quality checks, food processing applications, or environmental monitoring, ensuring you don't get false readings from a dry, damaged sensor.

Best For

• Extending the lifespan of Testo 206 pH probes.
• Ensuring consistent accuracy of pH measurements.
• Preventing probe desiccation during storage and transport.

Compatibility

This storage cap is designed specifically for Testo 206 series pH/temperature measuring instruments. This includes probes found on models such as the Testo 206-pH1 for liquids and the Testo 206-pH2 for semi-solid media. It’s got the right fit to seal and protect your probe's sensitive tip. If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• KCL Gel Filling: Comes pre-filled with potassium chloride (KCL) gel to keep the pH membrane hydrated.
• Probe Protection: Forms a sealed environment around the probe tip to prevent drying out.
• Extends Probe Life: Crucial for maintaining the integrity and accuracy of the sensitive pH electrode.
• Easy to Use: Simply place the cap over the probe tip when not in use.

What's in the Box

• 1 x storage cap with KCL gel filling.

Using It on the Job

1. After use, carefully clean your Testo 206 pH probe according to manufacturer instructions.
2. Ensure the storage cap contains sufficient KCL gel. If low, top up with appropriate pH probe storage solution.
3. Gently push the storage cap over the clean pH probe tip until it's securely seated.
4. Store the instrument in its case or a safe location, ensuring the cap remains firmly attached.
5. Always remove the cap before taking new measurements and rinse the probe with distilled water.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• This cap is specifically for Testo 206 series pH probes; it may not fit other models or brands.
• The KCL gel is for probe hydration, not for calibration or cleaning.
• Ensure the cap is clean before use to avoid contamination of the probe tip.
• Check the KCL gel level periodically and refill as needed with a suitable storage solution.

Keep this cap filled and on your probe when not in use. It's cheap insurance against having to replace an expensive pH probe simply because it dried out in the ute on a hot day. A well-maintained probe lasts longer and gives more reliable readings.
